We’re thrilled to announce that our Computer Science Essentials™ curriculum was selected as  Educator’s Pick Best of STEM Award in the Trailblazer: Inspiring Computational Thinking category! “STEM educators praise [our] curricular materials for providing teachers of young learners with activities that develop computational thinking.” 

Our Computer Science Essentials™ program takes computer science instruction beyond coding, fostering the computational thinking and digital learning skills students need to thrive in a fast-paced, tech-savvy future.

“EiE’s supplemental curriculum focused on Engineering and Computer Science Essentials is filling a huge need in STEM at the elementary level,” Dr Lance Brand, Educator Judge, said of our units. “Their learning units are well-designed, creative, have hands-on coding components and help students learn to structure their habits of mind.” 

 Research has shown that direct family involvement in learning has a significant impact on a student's academic achievement and future goals. That’s why we’ve created EiE Families! Designed for families with kids ages 4 to 11, our new online experience includes at-home and on-the-go activities to support learning wherever you are. Improved accessibility features on the site like interactive read-alouds, animations, and more make learning more engaging, and fun. EiE Families also offers detailed instructions to support educators in hosting their own community STEM event. 

At EiE^® we are committed to supporting the entire learning process, from the academic subject itself to the emotional skills needed to prepare students for the world ahead of them.

EiE has a suite of free resources to help you promote STEM and computer science learning all year long! From at-home and on-the-go activities to in-class resources, we have videos, downloadables and more available to build cross-curricular connections anytime, anywhere.
